Whether you work in a high-risk or a low-risk location, no one wants to be infected with the legionella bacteria. Even for buildings with a lower risk, it is legally required to ensure that the risk of legionella contamination is kept to a minimum.
The legionella bacteria can grow due to incorrect installation or inadequate maintenance and management of the water pipe. In the case of fine water mist, this bacteria ends up in the air. If inhaled, this can lead to major health risks.
The risk of legionella growth is greatest in the following circumstances:
- Dead water pipes with long standing water
- Lukewarm water with a temperature between 20°C and 50°C
It is therefore important to prevent these circumstances as much as possible.
Steendam cannot provide you with a complete risk analysis for your water supply installation. We can offer solutions for the legionella-proof connection of off-take points to the water supply. Steendam offers various options for emergency and eye showers as well as for laboratory taps. Check out our website www.steendam.nl, or get information without obligation at the fairgrounds.
